I'm going down this road feeling bad

I ain't got no shoes on my feet

It takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot

it takes a ten dollar shoe to fit my foot, great god
and i ain't a-gonna be treated this a-way
* refrain
I'm going where the climate suits my clothes
i'm going where the climate suits my clothes
